It's official.

Even Annie Abbott has admitted that she and her friends Helen, Figgy and Rosamund are now officially the Lyme Regis Women's Swimming Club.

And now that the murder of the man they found in Rosamund's boot has been solved (fortunately without ill consequences for Rosamund), they'd like to focus on their swimming. Even if it is summer and Lyme is rammed with tourists.

But then, another mystery rears its head.

While enjoying their regular early morning swim, the friends discover the body of local artist Clifford Muldoon, floating near Lyme Regis's iconic Cobb.

Annie's daughter, DC Tina Abbott, has things under control. But that doesn't mean the swimming club can't help out, as far as Annie's concerned.

Or does it?

A Brush with Death is the second book in the charming Lyme Regis Women's Swimming Club series, featuring characters from the bestselling Dorset Crime series and perfect for fans of British cosy mystery... and monstrous cake-eating seagulls.
